NHS Rooms is an offer provided by the NHS Housing Hub open to all NHS colleagues across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. It provides a platform for colleagues who have a spare room to rent out to be matched with colleagues in need of accommodation.
I have a spare room available to rent out, how can I use NHS Rooms?
To become an NHS Rooms host, you need to:
- Have an NHS email address (Trust or nhs.net)
- Have a spare room of at least 6.5sqm which the renter will have sole use of
- Provide a bed, mattress, and wardrobe as well as use of kitchen and bathroom facilities.
1. Register your details
Fill in the registration form. We will ask for your name, address and contact details, the size of the room, location, indicative price and preferred letting period. We can accommodate short and long-term lets.
2. Check the rules and get advice
We strongly recommend that you get some independent advice on rental price negotiations, bills, rental agreements, home insurance and other things to consider, such as any clauses in your own mortgage, insurance, or rental agreement. As part of the Housing Hub, we are able to offer you a fast-track referral to Citizens Advice.
3. Be matched with a colleague in need
The Housing Hub officers will provide your contact details to colleagues who are looking for accommodation in your area and have contacted the Housing Hub for assistance. It is then up to you and the colleague to arrange a viewing and negotiate an agreement. However, your Housing Hub officer will be available to guide you through the process until you have found your match.
I’m in need of accommodation, how can I use NHS Rooms?
Any rooms offered through NHS Rooms are available to Housing Hub clients. If you need short-term or long-term accommodation and think renting a room in a colleague’s home might be for you, please contact the Housing Hub on io***************@nh*.net.
Please note that availability of rooms varies.
